The capacity in which we act

We are an insurance intermediary. When arranging this insurance, we always act as the agent of the insured.

Our remuneration

You do not pay us a fee for arranging this policy; we receive a commission from the insurer which is a percentage of the total annual premium.

We do not apply administrative charges to our customers for arranging or administering their insurance policies.

For arranging premium instalment facilities, we do not earn any commission from our premium finance providers. However, the amount you pay for credit and the overall cost of arranging your insurance will vary according to the interest charged by the lender and the APR. Using premium finance makes the overall cost of the insurance more expensive. A full breakdown of the cost of your insurance and the cost of credit will be provided as part of your new business or renewal quotation before you make a decision whether to proceed

Disclosure

You are responsible for answering any questions in relation to any proposal for insurance cover honestly and to the best of your knowledge, providing complete and accurate information which insurers will require.

You must check all details on any proposal form and pay particular attention to any declaration you may be asked to sign. You must inform us immediately of any changes in circumstances which may affect the services provided by us or the cover provided by your policy.

Insurance Premiums

We act as agents of the insurer in collecting premiums and handling refunds due to clients. In these circumstances, such monies are deemed to be held by the insurer(s) with which your insurance is arranged.

Cancellation Rights

You may cancel your Insurance policy within the 14 days after you receive the insurance documents, and you will receive a full refund of any premiums paid. After the 14-day period you can cancel at any time by emailing us at [email protected].

Policy changes and general policy administration

When policy documents are issued, you are strongly advised to read them carefully, as it details important information regarding your cover. You must inform us immediately of any changes in circumstances which may affect the services provided by us or the cover provided by your policy.
